WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-At the Navy De-
pertinent to-day it was learned that for two
weeks past Secretary Whitney has been SO i'll
as to be unable to open his nail.
The Secretary. though suffering from no
serious disease. has severe and constant head
aches, and his physicians have forbidden him
to do any work for some time. 1t is believed q
long rest will be required to restore the
Secretary to his usual health. Ell
He has been troubled with these headaches
for year or more, and they. have grown
more and more severe. Ho has not been able
to write one word of his annual report, and
there is no prospect that he will be able to.
1t is said that the Secretary's trouble was
probably aggravated By his close application
to his duties during the very warm weather
attention to the preparation of contracts for
new naval vessels. He made thorough
study Of tile technical details Of ship build.
ing;
The recent appointment of board of the
bareau officers Of the department., to meet
Frequently to consider matters coming under
the different bureaus, was made in view OF
the contemplat ted temporary retirement Of
the Secretary from business. Heretofore tine
acting Secretary of the Navy has felt author
lied in acting upon routine matters only;
rean chiefs, the acting Secretary will have
no hcsltancy in acting to the full limit of Che
authority conferred upon him.
:, Com. Harmony, Chief OF the Bureau Of
Yards and Docks, will act both az Secretary
ct the Navy and as President OF the Board Of
Bureau Chiefs. 1t is understood that Sccre-
tary Whitney will soon move from New York
to more retired place, probably to his coun-
try home at I.enoy. Mss.
1t is not thought that he will occupy his

him, to refrain from paving attention to

Need of Good Navy Yards on the Gulf
Coast and on the Pacific.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 22--Com. B. B. Har-
mony, chief Of the Bureau Of Yards and
Docks, has prepared his annual report upon
the operations of that bureau during the
past year. He says that appropriations have
been expended with the greatest economy,
and 40 much done as was possible with this
limited amount to arrest deterioration OF
government property. the sum, however,
being so small it had but little effect.
On the Mare Island (Cal.) Navy Yard, the
report says: ''Ihis navy yard is our Only
naval station on the shores OF the Pacific. 1t
would be our only base for naval operations
for the defense of the ports of this coast. for
protection of orr Pacific trade, and for the
assertion. if it should become necessary, of
the dignity and strength of the nation upon
this greatest of all ocean areas.
AT present European naval powers are
rapidly acquiring the insular countries OF
this part of the world, their movements adj
vanc,g so far as 40 make among themselves
and extending so far of late as TO practically
annex groups Of stands where American
trade and civliZlng influences had been here
tofo.e permanent. In considering these
movements the possibility does not seem a
distant one, that our extreme Western terri
the poss ssions of aggressive naval powers.
This, in addition to the immense develop
ment apon land and sea on the Pacific coast
that viii follow the opening OF the inter-
oceanic canal, will force Hpon this country, a
greater naval activity, for which we should
be prepared. Not only should the question
be considered of establishment of additional
naval resources in the waters of Puget
sound. the great coal and iron regions of
the future upon this coast, but measures
should he taken to place this orr only naval
station now existing upon the coast, in a
fully equipped condition. When the e.ner-
gency arises and the strain aid stress of pre-.
paration for actual war il upon u, there will
be no time Tor the estlb sbmcnt Of the
necessary works. which require consi lerabie
time for construction ard : continuous.
though not extravaganza, expenditure OF
money"
The necessity for a naval station on
the shores of the Gulf of Mexico is said to be
impera tive not only from the possibilities
likely soon to arise in these waters and adj
Joining West Indian countries and seas. but
also because station is needed an q base for
the naval defense of our own coasts and the
PRO ection of the outlets of our Gull and
mississippi trade, Com: Harmony believes
that Pensacola. although defective III some
respects, combines more advantages for a
naval station than Key West or any point on
